We're with you.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, follow the Petros in Money Show wherever you get

Speaker 3 (00:40):
They say the world is spinning around. I say the
world is upside down. Cracking everybody, and welcome back from
yesterday's shorter show. It is a full four hour Petros
in Money effort on this too, ed Mono two two

(01:05):
at mono Tuesday on AM five seventy LA Sports. But
even though it's a four hour show, that doesn't mean
we don't have play by play to offer at the
end of the night. Why Well, because the NBA on NBC,
which is a new venture this year, does their game

(01:26):
tip offs at eight o'clock at night. Well, yeah, but
you know that's a TV thing, Dawn. But we know
that we say eight o'clock here, Okay, I mean I
know about the slide and all that. I mean, I
do this too. You know, I'm not that big of

(01:47):
an idiot, even though I look like it. I know
what's going on. I know it's going to be eight twelve.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I say that just because it because you're doing eight
o'clock tip offs versus seven or seven thirty like normal.
Now that extra twelve minutes matters, You're right, the extra
twelven o'clock, It doesn't matter. Seven thirty doesn't matter. But
when you when your tip time is eight and it's
really eight twelve, now we're talking eight to twelve on

(02:13):
these or eleven twelve on the East Coast.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
I told you about the space game, right, No, Okay,
I did a game. Now, you've done a lot of
games since we've known each other. Yes, we have both
called a lot of games. You more because there's more
basketball games than football games. But I can get a
lot of football games in in one season, as evidenced
by a couple of years ago. But I did a game.

(02:38):
I'd never done a football game in my life that
had a theme, you know, not a rivalry, not hey,
we all dress up with duck bills on our heads
because it's organ The game had a theme. It was
at UCF and it was called the Space Game, and
it's like a ten year thing they do. It is
wildly popular. Didn't not know that. In the sixties, UCF

(03:03):
was opened as Central Florida Technical Institute to feed the
Kennedy Space Center right there in Orlando, so it's very
much involved with space. You can see the launches from
the Kennedy Center from their football field, which they call
the Bounce House. So they have this once a year.

(03:23):
They make up a whole new uniform with a different
kind of space theme and all the kids dress up
like Boba Fett and everybody dresses up like an alien.
All the girls get all gunned up and they sell
different gear every year for the Space Game. This year
they were honoring their research in hyper space, so it

(03:47):
looked like, you know, hyperspace, like in the Millennium Falcon
in the numbers and yeah, you hear about it this
and that, but I got there and it was crazy.
They're doing laser light shows, They're bringing robots out onto
the field every time out, Robot dogs, robot humanoids, sprinting
around like it was absolutely freaking bonkers. I'd never seen

(04:12):
anything like it. Space music, space games, space video board stuff.
Everybody was buying gear. They have a Space mascot that
only hung on for one year because it was so dumb.
Was called the citro knot an orange with a baseball
with a Space helmet on, like it's baseball looking ahead.

(04:35):
And they bring back the citront for the Space game
and they run them out of the tunnel and people
go absolutely buck wild. They wear totally different colors than
their normal colors. And this game kicked at eight in Orlando,
like that is deep into the night. And then they're like,
we're gonna slide because there's a college basketball game before

(04:56):
us and there's a bunch of fouls Saint John's or something,
and it's like eight point fifteen and we're kicking off.
First quarters not over because there's like three reviews or something.
It's nine o'clock at night and the first quarter's not over.
You think all those drunk kids from UCF bouncing around
and their Boba Fett uniforms stuck around to see one

(05:17):
of the most exciting endings ever of the Space Game.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no much.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
I understand TV windows just as much as everybody else does.
But eight o'clock at night, why why you got to
just do your earlier game one hour earlier and get
the thing tipped at seven. We gotta start just tipping
things at seven in Los Angeles, we got to stop
with seven point thirty and eight o'clock is asen out.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
I have.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
I have at least four or five SCUCLA games that
tip at eight this year it's two o'clock.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
It's too bad. Yeah, college games are supposed to go faster,
but do they?

Speaker 5 (05:59):
No, Mond, No, Mund.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Not when you have fifty fouls called in a non
overtime college game that takes it till like two twenty,
which is about what an NBA game takes.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
At about midway through the third quarter of the Space Game,
most of the kids had cleared out. It was sold
out and now it's half full, and I said, where'd
all the kids go? They said, well, there's an EDM
concert here locally that everybody's trying to get. What kick
it earlier? Then they could do both. But that's a
TV window thing.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
I get it. I understand, I get it.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Joining us today on our Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity
guest microphone.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
The next ass he kisses will be the first.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
He's put in a lot of work for CAA training,
draft picks, the Big Ten Network halfs one. Wouldn't be
surprised if I didn't see him on Big Fox calling a
college basketball game this year. The one and only Don
McLea the leading score in the history of the Pac
twelve and UCLA and UCLA hoops is a proud program,

(07:08):
and Don McClain is a proud man. We have four
hours of great sports talk with Don, and we appreciate
him being here with his sweatshirt on.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
How's it going? Don's been a little chilly out where
I live in the morning and evening, and I'm heading
somewhere after this.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Hashtag me too.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Where are you going? Just the boys? My two older
boys are back in town for Thanksgiving. Let me guess. No,
we're not going there. Okay, actually I don't know where
we're going. I got to figure that out when I
get the car on the way home. But I love
this week now that I'm with. You don't know once

(07:47):
you become an empty nester, as they call it. Now
the kids are gone, it's fun to have them back
for an entire week, and so I typically don't work
this week, so it's kind of a fun week to
hang out with the family and Thanksgiving and all that stuff.
So it's good.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Well, you seem very happy, then, don you know? We're
not used to that. We're used to you being in
maybe more of a surly mood, not feeling great about
you know this, that or whatever.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Well, Trent's in the Bahamas, so that's Mom's not completely happy.
She's two thirds happy.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
He's with Saint Mary's in the Bahamas. And we're watching
Seaton hall Us c USC down ten in Maui, So
we got that going for us here.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Hey, don can I ask you a question real quick?

Speaker 6 (08:29):
No, are the mcclaim boys, including yourself, you know, all
three of you guys are going out? Is this give
you a rockous night? Is this getting one of those like, hey,
we'll be back and if we call you, we man
need to ride.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Home where the beer gives you gas and the McLean's
kick ass and we're taking over the eight o five tonight.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
No. No, it's what's interesting though, is that when your
kids get of age, make sure you bring your ideas. No,
we're just going to dinner, for God's sake, but at Phinney's. No, okay,
not Phinney. All right, I'm sorry. Lunches and dinners do
get more expensive once your kids turn twenty one.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, and they're like, yeah, we'll have another vodka cran Yeah,
what is that your third?

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Well, if you get to your third, you're paying for
that one shows I'll see.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
I have.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
So much everybody to.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Drink minimum for the kids, like bear elegance. Yeah. Actually,
I had some coupons made up and I hand them
to drink coupons.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Oh for real, that's awesome. By the way, don, did
I have one of those coupons? Your coupons are up?
Your paying Your dad learned this at Bee by the airport. Yeah,
you want to do something fun don? Yeah, all right,
I have an idea. Okay, bear with me, because this

(09:54):
funner than coupons. Funner is not a word. More fun
would be the correct way to say it.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
You're not funner. No, I'm not rections.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Uh, there's a thing now, you know. It's a big
college football week. It's rivalry week. Sadly, it's rivalry week
here in Los Angeles, and nobody cares. Yeah, nobody, And
the teams now, there's so much going on in LA
and the teams are so kind of on the back

(10:27):
burner in people's minds. If USC won last week and
they were headed to the college football playoff, you'd get
more buzz. But this would be like a miracle victory.
If UCLA beats USC. There's a lot of people in
town vying for your sports attention and dollar and dollar, Chargers, Clippers, Lakers,

(10:48):
the Rams are very good. You've got USC, Ucla Football, Dodgers,
Angels down Orange County, the LAFC, the LA Galaxy. And
unless USC football is dominating and Ucla is good, nobody's
gonna make that big of a deal out of USC
Ucla anymore. They've watered it down. But you know what's

(11:11):
still a big deal is Michigan Ohio State. Michigan Ohio
State is the gold standard. I know that USC beat
Michigan this year, I get it, But Michigan's number fifteen.
It is the gold standard of college football rivalries. Recently,
they've won the last two national titles, respectively, or college

(11:34):
football playoffs. Respectively, Michigan and then Ohio State Jim Harbaugh
and then Ryan Day. And right now you can call
you know who Woody Hayes was, right, Yeah, the old
Ohio State coach he soci Yeah, the Clemson guy. You
can call Woody Hayes's number. He's dead, he's not going

(11:55):
to pick it up. But you can call Woody's number
and it's six' one four four eight eight one nine one.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Him.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Man WHEN i first started doing college football and doing
on the, RADIO i had a producer Named Craig, larson
And i'm sure he had called you many times to
come on the old radio show THAT i worked on
at The korean. Station And Craig larson had had a
long career producing radio for Sporting news out Of chicago

(16:52):
and this and, that and he hired an old football
coach by the name Of Jim whacker as and he
was the Old minnesota, coach the OLD tcu, coach to
be his, correspondent you, know to come on and be
a football. Expert And Jim whacker unexpectedly died in like
two thousand and three at the age of sixty. Six

(17:15):
so to this, Day Craig, larson who lives In, texas
now calls me and leaves a message on my phone
From Jim.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Whacker petrols It's Jim, whacker and he goes on and
on and.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
On so this very much reminds me of calling a
college football coach that has passed away of my old
radio and that radio producer was a guy who taught me,
like you, know WHEN i first started doing sports, RADIO
i WAS i MEAN i had, mentors you, Know Mark
uska And John, hefner but Especially. Uska but WHEN i

(17:52):
first started doing sports, radio you, KNOW i thought you
had to do sports radio like a sports radio, Guy
like you had to be like do the, score run
down the, score, yeah or Like Jim rome and be like,
phenomenal you, know or. Whatever LIKE i didn't know what to.
Do and it Was larson who wrote a parody song
for me to. Sing and when once we started doing

(18:13):
stuff like that and realizing you didn't have to do
what everybody else was, doing and the times were changing,
too because information was a lot easier to get and
the radio shows became more about. Entertaining it came at
a very good time for. Me SO i am very
very always been very sort of honorable With Craig larson

(18:39):
and what he taught.

Speaker 7 (18:39):
Me BUT.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
I did not enjoy always getting calls From Jim whacker
from Beyond.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
It's Whacker AND i could, say right, NOW i mean
just going on and on and. On SO i can't
believe since you dug up this story in this phone
number for what he hayes is both Shim beckler still.
Alive do we know that Sham becker's, dead so why
don't we get a number for? Him, well there was.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Some like, controversy something like where Sham beckler lets something
unsavory go. Through i'm not saying it's as bad As,
paterno but It's paterno. ESQUE i guess back in the,
day so many people have kind of canceled both Sham
beckler really, WELL i think they left his statue. Up
but thanks a, Lot, don that's not WHAT i. Read you,

(19:27):
know we're trying to keep it, cool and he had
to make it. WEIRD i was just, WONDERING i, mean come, On,
don why'd you have to do?

Speaker 2 (19:34):
It writing shot that for the next couple of? Days, Wait,
ronnie how is the state allowed to have two official?
SONGS i don't? Know don's that's WHAT i. Read what's
the other? ONE i don't know and didn't. Care it's
immaterial for this particular segment of the. Show how WHAT i?

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Do?

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Guys WHEN i come in, Here don comes in here
and always asks one what do they do for Sham
becker because he's been publicly?

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Shamed?

Speaker 3 (19:58):
DON i did not, know AND i guess the public
shame of socking a player For clemson is not as
not as egregiously, apparently should we call him one more?
Time can we call coach one more? TIME i, Promise,
look IF i promise to not call him again throughout
the rest of the, day Maybe Craig, larson Who i'm indebted,

(20:22):
to that's the WORD i was looking. For Maybe Craig
larson will call and do A Jim whacker impression for.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Us that'd be. GREAT i like the way you're talking
ABOUT Usc. Petrose It's Jim.

Speaker 5 (20:36):
Whacker Just Paul, gamble boil down to three. Things take three.
Things come on number.

those great backs and great quarterbacks and great defensive players
throughout the country and in this, conference but there's gonna
be one team that's gonna play solely as a. Team
no man is more important than the, Team no coach
is more important than the. Team the, team the, team the.

(26:25):
Team and if we think that, way all of, us
everything that you, do you take into consideration what effect
does it have on my? Team because you can go
into professional, football you go anywhere you want to. Play
after you leave, here you will never play for a team.
Again you'll play for a. Contract you'll play for, this

(26:45):
you'll play for. That you'll play for everything except the.

to play the. Piano there wasn't a piano guy in
the in the locker room Before Ohio state Played michigan

Thing for everything except the, team and think what a
great thing it is to be a part of something
that is the. Team we're gonna win. It we're gonna
win the championship again because we're gonna play as a
team better than anybody else in this. Conference we're gonna
play together as a. Team we're gonna believe in each.
Other we're not gonna criticize each. Other we're not gonna

(27:32):

A spanish galleon filled with billions of dollars of, gold
The San, jose and it was it was ambushed and it.
Sank and sometime in the eighties and it's Off carnahena
in The Caribbean, sea Off. Columbia so sometime in the
eighties An american salvage company discovered. It now and it's

(41:04):
not like one big, piece like you take it up
like a. Toy it takes a lot to get stuff.
Out and they just brought a cannon. Up they just
brought a couple of coins. Up they're said to be
like five hundred billion dollars worth a going like it's
the it's the it's the most lucrative shipwreck fine of all.

(41:26):
Time and there are three entities fighting over, it THE
us because of the salvage, Company columbia because it's in their,
waters And spain Because spain, says, hey that's our. Stuff
we never we never gave. It, yeah we never gave it.
Back we never said anybody could ambush it and sink

Speaker 8 (42:42):
In the, eighties love. It this is probably going to
be a decade long, lawsuit whereas there is maritime law
that actually kind of kind of determines all. This i'm
non familiar with. It but because it's In colombian, waters
they can have a claim on. It but because it's
done from The american, company they're gonna have a claim on.
It so they're just gonna go and do A solomon
and split the baby. There so they're gonna see something like.

That but it's gonna take a lot of.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Litigation, YEAH i was gonna ask that is there like
like A i DON'T i don't know what you'd call,
